The Queen of Attolia by: Meghan Whalen Turner

Review by Carl G.

Eugenides has never been caught on a mission, nor has he ever failed. He kept this "streak" alive in the first book when showing his bravery and intelligence. But this is all about to change. Eugenides will be faced with a consequence from one he fears very much. And the traits he showed in the first book, will have seemed to be temporary. But this consequence will affect more than him. This consequence is bigger than Eugenides.

But Sounis, Attolia, and Eddis have a bigger problem on hand besides Eugenides. War is slowly creeping up between these three countries. And to add on to that, Attolia is working with the Mede Empire, a very powerful empire that could crush each country. Will Sounis and Eddis be forced to form an alliance, or will Eugenides have to step up, and go to drastic measures to save his country? With everything at stake, someone or some country is going to have to do something.

This is one of my favorite books, and I highly recommend it. The author of this book (Meghan Whalen Turner) has a very efficient way of writing. She's able to give you a lot of information and description about something without taking up the whole page. Because of this, and because of the fact that this is a great story, you never get bored when reading. This story is very interesting, and has a turn in it that you will never expect.
